Thanks Patrick. Ive noticed the service has been really dodgy ever since the Anonymous attacks which is a shame because the PSN has never, ever been a problem at any time for me as far as reliability since Ive owned my ps3 (5 years). The past few weeks have been tough with connectivity issues but I have faith in you guys.

i don’t like the way you guys are hiding this situation from us….for example @askplaystation doesn’t answer anything that goes out of their automatic responses…and all the access to psn via pc has been down for the past 24h and it’s until now that you guys are able to give us an official update to this matter?

Vaguest update ever. Most of us already know anonymous, a group of bratty childish hackers (the bad kind of hackers), is succeeding at hacking Sony’s servers and websites; there’s no real need to hide information from your biggest supporters… Just let us know the detail of what sony is planning in order to combat these people so that the people who are being effected are at least knowledgeable about why they aren’t being offered the services they are entitled to because of their agreement to the psn terms of use.

Well, everything I need to do I can. I can sign in and play games online, such as LittleBigPlanet 2, CoD, GT 5, and KZ 3. I just downloaded something off the store too. Im happy, thanks Sony for this free and reliable service! (to clarify, im serious, and im not being sarcastic)

I have had some minor connection issues since the attacks a few weeks back, but nothing major and I could connect most of the time. Hopefully PSN can be fixed for the people that are having trouble and hopefully even increase stability. What makes me angry is that because of the attacks, Sony is focused on stopping them instead of giving us firmware updates with new features. Hackers need a life and need to stop trying to sabotage other people.

@zekececil14 every access related to psn through your pc is currently down…the reason why we are able to post in this blog or the forums is because we were logged before they went down….check store.playstation or qriocity…don’t try to log out of the blog because you won’t be able to get back in

Please fix ASAP. When you start up the PS3 with auto sign in, it does not auto sign in, and fix the order of friend list to the the way it was , alphabetical, and not by capital alphabetical first to smaller case. Thanks

*ahem* this comment is a statement on that I’m going to make a comment at some undetermined time in the future. I appreciate your patience while the comment is being written – I’m simply giving you an update on the comment’s status as way of an explanation for the lack of content in it.

I have had nothing but hassles since last Thursday – I’ve been able to log into PSN sometimes, but usually it’s down. Every time it’s down, I’ve discovered that I can’t visit us.playstation.com, or blog.us.playstation.com either. I’m almost certain the problem is that legit traffic is being filtered by Prolexic, the company that Sony has hired to combat the DDoS attacks. I’ve had NO problem getting to community.us.playstation.com, a server that isn’t protected by Prolexic (try a traceroute to those servers and you’ll see they end at a prolexic.com server).

I’m ticked, not because I’ve been unable to get online, and to the websites, but because of the time I’ve spent trying to fix the issue on my end. I nearly went out and bought a new router because I thought that was the problem.

I just played Killzone 3 online for 4 hours straight. Nothing happened!
=> To people who don’t want to pay for PS+, don’t make excuses because you are just cheap. SUCK IT UP and keep being a cheap person. Don’t blame PSN

I have PS+ and its pretty hit mostly miss on connecting online……I havent been able to load Netflix many a night as of late……Luckily I have a number of single player games that have been occupying my time

I can’t sign in to my account on the first go or sign on to game servers (MAG and Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit) on the first go but after trying a few times I can sign in then I don’t have anymore problems until i sign back out.

I have to sign in manually, which isn’t a big deal at all. I just tried to download the Heavy Rain move demo, and when I pressed download, a screen popped up that said “Automatic funding to wallet failed” or something like that. The message came right back up every time I pressed back. I ended up getting back to the Store’s main menu by pressing back continually.

I can’t log in to the forums or the playstation site (ie to sync trophies) and these psn log in problems have been going on like this for about a week now.

Can’t auto log in, when doing so manually it takes multiple attempts.

Can’t get into online games like free realms without spamming the log in screen because even after I eventually get online the ps3 still claims I don’t have an internet connection. So I have to log out and fight to log back in just to be able to play online and yet I could be in a chat previously or even in another online game and it’ll tell me I’m not connected.

This is really frustrating and annoying, and the fact that it’s taken about a week to acknowledge the problem doesn’t help much either.

I haven’t been able to log into the MAG forums or reliably sign into the PSN since last week.

And by “reliably” I mean within 10 log-in attempts. Ever since that DOS attack from Anonymous over the George Hotz lawsuit.

Before that? Totally fine. I’d get the occasional disconnect from individual games, but nothing that ruffled my feathers. My only complaints up until last month were that the PlayStation 3’s menu software loads icons and stuff entirely too slow and I want to get rid of certain things on the system entirely (like What’s New and pretty much everything in the Network tab).

I was having sign out problems through the week and my auto sign in was never working like before. Now I tried to sign in for the 1st time today and all I get is a message saying there has been an error and I have been signed out of Playstation Network. Please fix this soon Sony.

Glad to know it’s not just me. Was hoping to see something about this when I came here, and there it was. First post. So, thanks for keping us updated, Sony team.

I was particularly bothered when I did manage to sign on (the one time this evening) and when I clicked on the Store, I immediately got a message saying “Attempt to automaically add funds has failed.” That is a scary message! (Although, I suppose if some random adding of funds had succeeded, that’d be even scarier!)

lol @ certain functions. Try the whole system, and you can’t even say that to us. Can’t sign in right now in fact, which is why I’m here instead of playing online with my friends as I should be at this time of night. :D

Oh. and not even close to the first time this has happened over the last two weeks.
